Problems with table of contents with LyX

Question

I'm using LyX (before it was TeXMaker) and I was very happy, I'm a student so you know ... not time at all.

But I see a "bug" or plausibly a mistake, my document is very beautiful all things works good ... if I don't think of the Table of contents.

It just don't appear, but let's place of the picture :

So it's strange, of course I run (compile) LyX more than twice times but nothing.

Here the picture of what is it in LyX :

Here, the code in .LyX :

There is parameters for the table of contents ("table des matières", in french ; "Oui" = 'Yes' ; "Non" = 'No' ; "Partie" = 'Part' ; "Sous..." = 'Sub...' ; "Apparaît dans la TbM" = 'Display (show) in the ToC') :

So I'm confused. Until Monday 14 I'm in holidays so I can experiment and wait, don't feel obligated to give an answer instantly.

Thanks for reading, I hope we can found the problem and solve it.

Enjoy the life !!!

The problem is that by default, unnumbered sections/parts are not listed in the table of contents. The "numéroté" column refers to whether the titles in the table of contents are numbered, not whether unnumbered sections are included in the table of contents. One solution is to add \addcontentsline commands in custom LaTeX code (i.e., ERT) next to your unnumbered parts. For example, for your first part, you would put the following:

\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Analyse}

Note that you have to put the command where the unnumbered part is for the TOC to give the correct page number.

For more information, you might find Adding unnumbered sections to TOC useful.

Other information: welcome and great first post to tex.se! I am picky though, so I cannot help but give comments :)

Your example is more complicated than it should be (for example, it includes a graphic that I don't have). Please read https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample.
You might find it useful to export to LaTeX and also post the LaTeX here. That will help users who know LaTeX but don't know LyX have an idea of what's going on. Then we can try to adapt the answer to a "LyX answer".
You might be interested in joining a LyX mailing list. We have a lyx-users list and even a French LyX users list: lyx-fr. The French list is low traffic but whenever anyone asks a question I think there is a high success rate of an answer. You can find information on joining the lists at https://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc11. It would be great to have someone with such a positive attitude as yourself around the lists. I hope you solve this problem quickly so that you can enjoy your holiday!

Thank you it's good now... so it wasn't a bug, just myself. – Louis Margot Feb 10 '20 at 10:31 — Louis Margot, Feb 10 '20 at 10:31
